Question

Richard Chaffoo, MD, FACS, FICS · Answer

Yes provided your cardiologist feels that you are hemodynamically stable and provides medical clearance for your plastic surgeon.

Arian Mowlavi, MD, FACS (license on probation) · Answer

When it comes to whether you are a safe surgical candidate, we will always refer you back to your primary care physician and cardiologist (if you have one).

Edward J. Domanskis, MD (in memoriam) · Answer

If you have had medical problems in the past, you should definitely have a medical evaluation, clearance from your medical doctor/cardiologist for any surgery, including cosmetic surgery but if you have been in excellent health, then it should not be a problem. Also, I do a lot of different procedures under straight local anesthesia!

James McMahan, MD (retired) · Answer

Thank you for your question. It is possible to have elective cosmetic surgery after WPW has been treated. Your surgeon and anesthesiologist may want you to get clearance for your cardiologist first. Be sure to see an experienced, board certified plastic surgeon.

Jon A. Perlman, MD (retired) · Answer

The risks if you've been asymptomatic are probably very small but of course any prudent doctor will insist that you have a recent checkup with your cardiologist and a letter of clearance. If you have been asymptomatic I suspect the risks will be small but you should verify this with your doctor before proceeding.
